I think to a SIP or IAX user agent ( I don't want to use H.323) with only
G.711 support and able to emulate a virtual modem who then be used by a
standard FAX application (Linux or Windows based)

I need it only on the LAN, with a PSTN connection through a X100P card, so
latency must not be an issue.
